Important notes
Safety Instructions
WarningG
For safety reasons, you should only enter a
destination when the vehicle is stationary.
When the vehicle is in motion, a passenger
should enter the destination. Study manual
and select route before driving.
Do not watch display screen or operate but-
tons while the vehicle is in motion - let navi-
gation announcements guide you. Stop at a
safe location before using buttons or mak-
ing corrections.
Traffic regulations always have priority over
any route recommendations given.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), your vehicle is
covering a distance of 44 feet (approximate-
ly 14 m) every second.
The route calculated by COMAND is a rec-
ommendation on how to best reach your se-
lected destination.
During route guidance, you will not receive
any information on
Traffic lights
Stop and yield signs
Parking or stopping zones
One-way streets
Narrow bridges
Similar traffic regulation data
You should therefore always strictly observe
traffic regulations while driving. Drive care-
fully and always obey traffic laws and road
signs even if they contradict COMAND in-
structions.
WarningG
The Navigation DVD module contains a
Class 1 laser product. There is a danger of
invisible laser radiation if the cover is
opened or damaged.
Do not remove the cover. The Navigation
DVD module does not contain any parts
which can be serviced by the user. For safe-
ty reasons, have any service work which
may be necessary performed only by quali-
fied personnel.

Route guidance
Before the vehicle reaches a partially digi-
tized area, COMAND notifies you of this
with the following announcements:
“Be prepared to enter an area where
turn by turn guidance cannot be provid-
ed.”
“In 700 feet you will enter an area
where turn by turn guidance cannot be
provided.”
“You are about to enter an area where
turn by turn guidance cannot be provid-
ed.”Route guidance within a partially digi-
tized area
If you start route guidance in this type of
area, you will hear the following announce-
ment: “You are currently in an area where
turn by turn guidance cannot be provided.”
Route guidance is provided by means of a
direction arrow showing the compass
heading to the destination. COMAND will
not generate automatic navigation an-
nouncements.If you try to call up or repeat an announce-
ment manually, (
page 129) you will hear
the announcement “You are currently in an
a r ea wh er e tu rn b y tu r n g ui d a n c e c a n n ot b e
provided.“.
During route guidance, the display is divid-
ed. On the right-hand side you will see the
direction arrow showing the compass
heading to the destination.
On the left-hand side of the display you will
see the map with the suggested route. The
suggested route is highlighted blue. How-
ever, it may not be possible to follow the
suggested route because, for example, the
road is closed or not open for car traffic.
If, during route guidance, COMAND leads
you back into a fully digitized area, route
guidance will simply continue in the usual
manner.

The indicated distance can be seen
here by way of example. In reality, it
may be different.

When you call up the info menu to this
type of destination, (

following data shown there may differ

Route guidance
Route guidance to an off-road destina-
tionCOMAND can guide you to destinations
within the area covered by the digital m ap,
even if a destination is not located at a
road known to the system.
These destinations are shown as off-road
destinations, which you can enter using
the map, for example.

long as possible with navigation announce-
ments and displays on roads known to the
system.
Shortly before you reach the last known
point in the digitized road network, you will
hear the announcement “The destination is
nearby. Follow the arrow on the display”.
You will then see an arrow that indicates
the direction to the off-road destination.
When the off-road destination is close to
the road,
Area of dest. reached appears in ad-
dition below the arrow.When you leave the last known point in the
digitized road network, direction arrows
showing the compass heading to the desti-
nation guide you. You will also see the
Di-
rection to destination
display.

The route is highlighted blue from the near-
est road known to the system.
As soon as the vehicle is back on a road
known to the system, route guidance con-
tinues in the usual way.
Off-road and off-map
WarningG
The COMAND navigation system may direct
you to off-road routes that your vehicle may
not be capable of traversing through without
damaging your tires, wheels or vehicle. It is
the driver’s sole responsibility to determine
the suitability of the route. Off-road routes
may be of varying conditions and their ap-
propriateness for use may be affected by
various factors such as time of day, time of
year and immediate weather conditions that
cannot be judged or taken into consider-
ation by the COMAND system.

In such cases, the system cannot allocate
